Elite: Dangerous The Official Novel

Back in the mid 80's Elite was the game that got me into gaming in a serious way. Being able to fly between the stars battling pirates and trading goods turned what had been an occasional pastime into a hobby (and profession, in fact I work at Frontier) that has lasted over 25 years.

And now a new version of the game will hopefully be made (assuming the funding can be put together). There is a Kickstarter project to help fund the game. You can check it out here:

Happy for you and also extremely jealous (Which is why I am trying to crowd source myself for one of those 'Writer Packs' - http://www.indiegogo.com/EliteDangerous-And-here-the-wheel/x/1801378?c=home). I look forward to reading your story when it comes out. (I have already pledged to receive game and story when it ships)

There are another three novels funded or being funded and they are all by fans doing it for the passion so I'm sure they will be great.

As discussed on the E:D Kickstarter, I'd love to do a guest author spotlight with you. Email is john_melinda@xtra.co.nz or you can find me on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/AndHereTheWheel?skip_nax_wizard=true
